Amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions, Russia and Ukraine carried out drone strikes just as negotiations were about to begin in Turkey. Ukraine claimed significant success against Russian aircraft, but also reported an increase in missile and drone attacks from Russia. Social media fueled misinformation by sharing old footage purporting to show recent events, complicating the situation as both sides prepare for talks. DW's Fact Check team identified instances of misleading claims regarding military actions, suggesting a need for accuracy in reporting during such critical moments.
"After Ukraine said it destroyed more than 40 Russian aircrafts in Russia, Kyiv reported a record-breaking number of Russian missile and drone attacks on Sunday."
"DW's Fact check team takes a look at some of those viral posts. Claim: This video allegedly shows a Russian Iskinder missile hitting targets in Ukraine... the footage is old."
